This winter has been pretty brutal where I live. It’s been freezing cold since December 1st and we’ve had two snow storms so far – one took us days to dig out of. When your only sources of transportation (along with a stroller) are feet, subway and bus, that means there’s some afternoons stuck indoors. I’m always on the lookout for fun activities that will keep my 3 year old happy on blustery days and keeping it “green” is always a plus. After all, you can only bake so many muffins!

Here’s some things we’ve tried and plan on doing soon. Have any more great links to try out? Let me know!
